Attachment Tamer

After 10 years of continued work on Attachment Tamer and over a year of, admittedly, not being able to keep up with Apple's sped up release cycle and increasing technical difficulties of Mail plug-in development, I decided to find a better way forward for both my customers and myself.

I am preparing a solution for handling attachments in current and future OS X releases, that would be up to the standard set by previous Attachment Tamer releases, in a partnership with well-known Mac developers. As the holiday season has slowed us down, I am going announce more details early in the new year.

Happy End of the Year,

If you use Mac OS X 10.5.x “Leopard” or 10.4.x “Tiger” and cannot install the current version because of that, download instead this older version for Leopard or this one for Tiger. Note, however, that no more updates for Mac OS X 10.4.x or 10.5.x will be released. The outdated downloads are provided only as a temporary solution for those who cannot upgrade to a more recent release of Mac OS X and they are no longer supported. A free registration code for the Leopard version is included in the download, for the older Tiger version it is: 8A419E1A.
